By jove, I think he's got it.











(dings; audience applause; win music plays)

There ya got it.

Folks, you might have noticed the board was flickering a bit. So, the judge, rightfully so, sounded the cuckoo bird when it was more than necessary.

Bill, 30 grand for you. How do you feel?

[billmcdee]

((Running over and picking up Doug and swinging him around as if he was Bob Barker and I was a Samoan))....

Yes Yes OH YES!!!!!!!

$30,000 far nicer than that $30 I won yesterday!!!  Woo hoo!  And now I have enough for your hospital bill!!!!

If only I knew how to do a cartwheel!

[dougmorrisontheair]

It's probably a good thing. $30,000 would cover *our* medical bills. (audience laughs) We'll be back to tally up the damage in more ways than one -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[billmcdee]

(Sorry I always wanted to do that, just once anyway LOL, now it's out of my system!)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience cheers)

And we're back. I've recovered from my Samoan-style attack. (scattered laughter from the crowd) And Bill's celebrating a big $30,000 win.

(audience cheers)

Now only that, he got the money link earlier and hit $5000 right on the nose during the main game. Bill, you're two day total is...

...$43,280.

(audience cheers)

Now remember, if you win five straight games, you win an instant $40,000. You could rack up another $160,000 before you're through.

(audience cheers)

What would you do with that kind of money?

[billmcdee]

I would take those checks to the bank, ask them to cash them in all pennies, take them home and count them for ages!

Actually, I'd use some for a down payment for a home, some would go toward my son's college education, and the rest I'd tuck away for retirement, which I'll be eligible for in oh, just another 17 years from now.

[billmcdee]

And may I just say I can't believe how well I've done in the main games so far.  Truly blows my mind.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Well, you'll have a chance to do more amazing things and win more money tomorrow on The $40,000 Chain Reaction.

Dance Party's coming up next on USA. For all of us on the chain gang, this is Doug Morris saying -- make it a great day, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones.
